"must have an undying, almost foolish self-belief in your band and music." Know that you will face disappointment and people telling you that "you are just not good enough."
Dave (advice to aspiring bands)

"perserverance pays off" and you need to "write your own songs."
Dave Bowman

"most of the time it is not about the music, it is all about the business." You need to "study successful people in the business and surround yourself with the right people."
Dave Bowman
